Jan ’26 Gymnastics Skill Work
Jan ’26 Gymnastics Skill Work: Kip Drill by Coach Jackie One of the most important factors in all of your gymnastics movements is lat strength — and your ability to fire those muscles when it counts. So often, when someone is struggling to get a toes-to-bar, link pull-ups, or hit their first muscle-up, it’s because they’re not engaging one of […]

Jan ’26 Movement of the Month
Jan ’26 Movement of the Month: Supinated Dead Hang by Coach Aidan This month’s movement is the Supinated Dead Hang.

Dec ’25 Gymnastics Skill Work
Dec ’25 Gymnastics Skill Work: Handstand Holds by Coach Jackie Handstand holds might be one of my all-time favorite skills to work on. Not just because they’re fun (which they are), but because they’re a total cheat code for improving so many other movements in CrossFit. They help dial in your overhead positioning, which translates to everything […]
Crawling Toward Consistency
